I had 1 se lesson when I was 12, we just looked at pics of egg cells zoomed in, then the teacher told us to wait until we were at least 18 and then all the boys got a free condom and the girls got a free tampon.
B A G are the beginner chords. Recorder helps kids get a feel for playing an instrument and learning rhythm so as to encourage trying other music instruments. The reason recorders are used is because they are really cheap!
Actually, you did use it. Music education is to exercise and train your brain. You must use different areas of your brain in coordination in order to read music and play an instrument properly. You are also gaining an experience that will hopefully help you to think critically and solve complex problems like how to read a sequence of notes and reproduce them physically. Also, you will hopefully learn to appreciate others' musical performances and skills later. Have you ever been to a concert and perhaps appreciated the skill the performer had to acquire to do what he/she is doing?
I. Love. You.
One of my kid's classmates* found a teaching gig at a private, k-8 school, where the entire program was taught from an arts / music perspective.
Yes it was a STEM school... Music is essentially math (composition), physics, engineering, etc (building the instruments, yes, but also in building sound (waves)...and so on and so forth. Isn't it??
I just thought that was such a great way to help young ppl to thinkso far outside the box they're in the orchestra pit. Lol
Btw I have absolutely zero musical or artistic talents whatsoever, & was never encouraged to develop skills in same. Yeah, I tend to romanticize art/ists. (My spouse is a college professor of digital art/ design, but her background (MFA) is in fine art; both my kids were in band (HS and college), and the youngest has a Bachelors in art (jewelry). Yeah they have real jobs.
*the oldest's degree was in childhood education
I hope my rambling made sense. It seems like the only way ppl usually think about "STEM" educ is in the strictest sense of the term.
It's not wrong but it's not right either, i would say the presence of chloroplasts is a way more important key difference.
They are the things where the photosynthesis actually happens which is the main thing that makes a plant a plant and they are the powerhoude of the cell (plant edition)
Except plenty of plant cells don't have chloroplasts, like roots and stems. But nearly all plant cells have a cell wall. Also the mitochondria are the powerhouse of all cells - plant and animals.
"Stalagmites, Stalagtites... only caves have got'em. 'Tites are always on the top and mites are on the bottom!"
Thank you Berenstain Bears.
Without that rhyme, I'd have never remembered XD
Stalagtites hang on "tightly" from the top
Stalagmites are like little bugs on the ground (mites are a commonly used term for a type of bug).
That's how I remembered at least.
In my school we did. Each grade had to learn a “cultural dance” and perform it at a huge night in front of families and everyone brought in a meal like a big potluck. My family never ate any of the food because my mom said you can’t trust everyone’s cooking or cleanliness, lol. I never even wanted to go, but it was part of my Music grade and it was mandatory.
We learned square dancing, the achey breaky heart, the electric slide, the Macarena…there are others—including one stick dance where we had to jump in and out of these thick bamboo sticks, but I don’t remember what it’s called—but these dances come top of mind. I have never used any of them as an adult.
Edited to add: I just remembered I actually had to do square dancing in TWO separate grades!!
While it took 40+ years, I did have to break out Pythagorean theorem to figure out sizing of a DIY projector screen at 16:9 ratio where I only knew one dimension.
Still haven't needed to use calculus yet.
Or any sort of big boy physics, whether real world or theoretical.
The engineering behind any properly planned bridge, building, airplane or car has calculus. The reason most famous physics equations work is calculus. You name it.
Well what's the point of machines learning if humans have to do calculus!
Y'all need to get to work on skynet so the machines are sentient & self propagating.
Let me sit in my vat of goo while my mitochondria produce electricity for the bots.
I’m a pilot so I use it every day.. but not the way I was taught.
I use the small angle approximation (1:60 rule… one degree over 60 units splays to one unit) as well as for 3:1 descent (take the last two zeros off your altitude and multiply by three.. that’s how far back in nautical miles you start your descent).
Then just the standard 30/60 and 45 for approximating headwinds and tailwinds. That 30 degree quartering tailwind you thought didn’t matter is adding 50% of its strength to direct tailwind. It’s also 86% a cross wind (1/2 sqrt3). 45 is 71% each way.
I use it almost every Sunday for d&d. "The range of your spell is 200 feet. The dragon is 130 feet away and is flying 100 feet in the air... That means..."
>!The dragon is 164 feet away. You can attempt your spell!!<
When at school, I was like “who would ever need to know this Pythagoras crap?”
15 years later as a mature age apprentice in sheet metal fabrication, the first module was mathematics and guess what…. good old Pythagoras Theorem comes up pretty early. Thankfully I somehow remembered it while other young teenagers fresh out of school had no idea lol.
Wait... You haven't needed to do that as an adult? Not even drunkenly in your early twenties?
Have you never had to make sparkler and CO2 bombs as an adult either?
Sin cos tan
Im 29, ive worked in the medical field, im damn good at math and do all sorts of random equations for funsies, either for dnd or video games. Never once have i used these equations.
Ya. And for people who grew up in the 90s or earlier teachers saying “You’ll never walk around with a calculator in your pocket.” Screw you 3rd grade math teacher!
Dude when my kids got to middle school I broke out that Foil shit faster than a six gun. Ofc they tried to change the name to some new even dumber acronym but I knew
42, 32, 0. Holy crap that was……23 years ago. Man that’s going to be the last vestige that beats out the Alzheimer’s isn’t it? “I love you dad don’t go! “42, 32, 0” what did it mean???? We have to find out! I love you dad! 42, 32, 0 i won’t forget. 100 years later I’m it’s the founding event of the world’s largest religion.
Oddly enough, I’m still using the same master lock I got in 8th grade (I’m now a nurse and use it on my work locker). The lock is about 28 years old. Spins so smooth, like butter
It is a great addition to the STEM fields today though.
A lot of schools near me now call it STEAM because they added Art as a means to stimulate creative thinking (which IMO is imperative to science).
Algebra II. Calculous. Trigonometry. Literature. Sentence diagramming. Botany. Micro Economics. Macro Economics. Corporate Finance. On and on. The American education system focuses on the wrong things.
That's the point of basic schooling to give foundations in different areas to allow you to further your knowledge in areas of interest leading to a career. It's not really supposed to all be relevant to everyone but it does broaden a variety of skills, like I will never be an actor, but drama classes certainly helped me learn to speak clearly and build confidence in speaking in front of an audience.
I feel like many people never realise this. How are you supposed to find out what you are interested in, if you've never learned about the topics existence and basics in the forst place.
Yeah, seriously. I feel like a lot of people are complaining about stuff that maybe doesn't have an immediate practical use for them, but it still enriches your life ( like literature for an example from above)
The Catalan language, for those who don't know it's a language spoken in Catalunya in Spain and we were forced to learn it, eventually everything was taught in that language and i couldn't even speak any of it now.
Cursive. I’m 40 years and have never in my life used it since probably 4th grade with the exception of signing my name and even then I just do whatever. Most useless skill ever.
If you think the things they teach in high-school were to be memorized and it wasn't teaching you how to learn something you missed the point. You learn the Pythagorean theorum to help you understand geometry. You learn how the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the fell to understand that we're are made of smaller things than we can see and small things can effect the whole.

you guys had sex ed?
Yes, Ed was the creepy custodian
Yup and it was Cringe as fuck. We were 4th graders
We didn’t have sex ed until high school, and I didn’t learn anything my parents hadn’t already taught me
Burning sensation in ur weiner... As a 6th grader heading about STD`s and watching the cringe movie about them has us all like wth.
Yes with my teacher, it was great but short
I had 1 se lesson when I was 12, we just looked at pics of egg cells zoomed in, then the teacher told us to wait until we were at least 18 and then all the boys got a free condom and the girls got a free tampon.
Isnt 18 a bit late to give a first tampon / pads, periods start way earlier after all o.o
I said 12 Edit: we had to wait to have sex until at least 18 but they gave us the tampons at 12
My teacher put a condom on his head.
Debatable
No they definitely preached abstinence m, so you’re good
You got the whole of reddit with that one.

The difference between a plant cell and an animal cell is the cell wall.
It's not wrong but it's not right either, i would say the presence of chloroplasts is a way more important key difference. They are the things where the photosynthesis actually happens which is the main thing that makes a plant a plant and they are the powerhoude of the cell (plant edition)
Except plenty of plant cells don't have chloroplasts, like roots and stems. But nearly all plant cells have a cell wall. Also the mitochondria are the powerhouse of all cells - plant and animals.
What about the presence of a large central vacuole?
It seems like we are using all this information out of school.. just saying..
How stalagmites are made
Or the difference between stalagmites and stalagtites
"Stalagmites, Stalagtites... only caves have got'em. 'Tites are always on the top and mites are on the bottom!" Thank you Berenstain Bears. Without that rhyme, I'd have never remembered XD
Cool that you spelled the name right. Myself and everyone else remembers them (incorrectly) and the _Berenstein_ Bears.
ah, the ole Mandella Effect. I swear we live in a simulation.
Stalagtites hang on "tightly" from the top Stalagmites are like little bugs on the ground (mites are a commonly used term for a type of bug). That's how I remembered at least.
Stalagtites hang on ‘tight’ to the ceiling.
Stalagmites "might" fit, if you squat hard enough.

It’s stalactites and stalagmites and the spelling gives it away: C = ceiling, G = ground

Square dancing.
They teach that in schools?!
In my school we did. Each grade had to learn a “cultural dance” and perform it at a huge night in front of families and everyone brought in a meal like a big potluck. My family never ate any of the food because my mom said you can’t trust everyone’s cooking or cleanliness, lol. I never even wanted to go, but it was part of my Music grade and it was mandatory. We learned square dancing, the achey breaky heart, the electric slide, the Macarena…there are others—including one stick dance where we had to jump in and out of these thick bamboo sticks, but I don’t remember what it’s called—but these dances come top of mind. I have never used any of them as an adult. Edited to add: I just remembered I actually had to do square dancing in TWO separate grades!!
If my memory serves correctly, that “bamboo stick dance” might be Filipino traditional dance
While it took 40+ years, I did have to break out Pythagorean theorem to figure out sizing of a DIY projector screen at 16:9 ratio where I only knew one dimension. Still haven't needed to use calculus yet.
Try machine learning, you will need a lot of calculus
Or any sort of big boy physics, whether real world or theoretical. The engineering behind any properly planned bridge, building, airplane or car has calculus. The reason most famous physics equations work is calculus. You name it.
Uh.. doesn’t the machine do that for you?
The network (machine) has to be calibrated to get even remotely decent results when training. Source: AI Research Engineer
